THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 1538d. (1) The superintendent of public instruction shall
not approve a teacher preparation institution under section 1538a
and R 390.1151 to R 390.1153 of the Michigan Administrative Code
unless the teacher preparation institution meets both of the
following:
(a) Offers a student teaching program to its students that
includes at least all of the following:
(i) Student teaching experiences or clinical experiences, or
both, in a rural setting.
(ii) Student teaching experiences or clinical experiences, or
both, in an urban setting.
(iii) Student teaching experiences or clinical experiences, or
both, that include instruction on social, emotional, and
restorative learning practices.
(iv) Student teaching experiences or clinical experiences, or
both, with pupils who are English language learners.
(v) Student teaching experiences or clinical experiences, or
both, in schools with a high population of pupils living in
poverty.
(vi) Student teaching experiences or clinical experiences, or
both, with pupils with a disability.
(vii) A prohibition on a student teacher engaging in student
teaching in a school that the student teacher attended. A teacher
preparation institution may lift the prohibition under this
subparagraph for a student teacher if the prohibition would impose
an unreasonable burden on the student teacher, as determined by the
department.
(viii) An introduction to the evaluation tool used by the
school district, intermediate school district, or public school
academy in which the student teacher completes his or her student
teaching experience.
(ix) The use of data and statistics to inform instruction and
to aggregate local and state assessment data.
(x) Development of classroom management skills.
(b) Enters into a partnership agreement with each school
district, intermediate school district, or public school academy in
which the teacher preparation institution places student teachers
House Bill No. 5604 as amended December 5, 2018
that includes at least both of the following:
(i) Methods of communication between the teacher preparation
institution and the school district, intermediate school district,
or public school academy.
(ii) Expectations for student teachers, cooperating teachers,
school districts, intermediate school districts, public school
academies, and student teaching supervisors at the teacher
preparation institution, including standards for site visits and
feedback.
(2) Beginning July 1, [2021], if the superintendent of public
instruction approved a teacher preparation institution under
section 1538a and R 390.1151 to 390.1153 of the Michigan
Administrative Code before the effective date of this section and
the teacher preparation institution did not meet the requirements
under this section at the time the approval was issued, the
superintendent of public instruction shall revoke the approval. If
the superintendent of public instruction revokes an approval under
this subsection, the teacher preparation institution may reapply
for approval, in a form and manner prescribed by the superintendent
of public instruction.
[(3) It is the intent of the legislature that a teacher
preparation institution not charge a student who is engaged in student
teaching a rate of tuition that exceeds the applicable undergraduate
tuition rate unless the teacher preparation institution provides
transferable graduate level credits to the student that can be applied
toward a graduate level degree related to the field of education.]
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect 90 days
after the date it is enacted into law.
